- Shareholders reject proposal from conservative activist
- Investors reelect board, back company on hot-button issues
Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger came out swinging at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis saying his policies regarding the theme-park giant have been “not just anti-Florida, but anti-business.”
The executive, who spoke during the company’s annual meeting on Monday, responded to questions from investors about Disney’s political fight in Florida and its decision to oppose legislation that limits discussion of gender identity in schools.
“A company has a right to freedom of speech just like individuals do,” Iger said.
